As far as I am aware PCSWMM makes use of native the SWMM5 .inp file, so
transfer between the two systems is seamless insofar as the SWMM5 data file
is concerned. A SWMM5 .inp file may not contain all of the data resident in
the PCSWMM GIS so opening a .inp file will initially yield a rather sparsely
populated PCSWMM GIS, lacking the pretty screen image and indexing that one
expects from PCSWMM.

Hi,
I was wondering if folks can share their experiences converting data files
back and forth from SWMM5 to PCSWMM files. Experiences both good and bad
will be appreciated. Thanks, Sujit

Subject: [SWMM-USERS] XPSWMM to SWMM 5

All

I have an 2008 XPSWMM model that I need to convert to SWMM 5.

At present, I have one DOS application for converting from XPSWMM to SWMM 4,
and another Windows application to convert from SWMM 4 to SWMM 5. The final
product is not one I can run in SWMM 5 as is.

Should I try fixing up the file manually, or is there a better one-step
converter ( direct from XPSWMM to SWMM 5) available?

Thanks

Chris Davidson

Sujit,

PCSWMM offers users multiple versions of SWMM engines (SWMM5.0.13 through SWMM5.0.22, with exception of 19 and 20). When you convert data / input files back and forth between EPA SWMM5 and PCSWMM, please make sure you are using the correspond version of EPA SWMM5. Otherwise, you will see difference model simulation results.
